## Resource

Begoña Gómez, wife of Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, is headed to trial on charges of corruption and influence peddling, facing passport surrender and mandatory court appearances every two weeks amid fears she might flee. Allegations include steering government contracts to tech firms, misusing public funds, and questionable software use during her tenure as a university professor. Gómez denies all charges, and Sánchez calls the probe a political smear. The opposition demands his government resign, branding it a threat to democracy, while the Socialist Party labels the judge’s move a “witch hunt.” The two-year investigation, launched by conservative-leaning group Manos Limpias, also targets a businessman and consultant linked to Gómez. With Spain’s election looming, Sánchez faces mounting legal and political pressure as this high-stakes drama unfolds. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
